Audi A6 Avant (1998 - 2004) 1.9 TDI SE (130ps) 5d Multitronic (2003/03) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

Would you buy this car again and why?

Not with a multitronic gearbox, unless these have a cast iron Audi service history and an oil change every 40000 miles plus the uprated 7 plate clutch I would avoid this gearbox like the plague. Repair costs are in excess of £3000 when they go wrong.

What are you likely to buy next?

Subaru Outback.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Independent

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£0

When did you buy the car?

April 2008

Did you get a good deal and why?

Not really, the dealer was evasive, promised much and delivered little. He has since ceased trading

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Needed plenty space and good fuel economy

What was the dealer like?

A bad example

What's it like to drive?

As I have had gradually worsening issues with the multitronic box, disappointing. It handles well, pulls wel and once moving cruises well

What's it like to park?

Not too bad, the front bumper was badly damaged when I drove too farr forward over a kerb in a shopping centre, ground clearance is low and the bumber snagged and was dragged off as I reversed off.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Multitronic gearbox, problems with water leaking into the car, trim not too resilient.

What's most practical about your car?

Large load space.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Luggage net, saves buying a dog guard.
